No idea. Drives been out for a while now , and don't think there has been much progress on flashing the damn thing , but then again at one point it was thought impossible to get the key , but we can get that now.

If you are going to get one , I wouldn't do it on the hope that it's going to be worked out how to flash , as you could be waiting a long time. Either find a older unit , or be prepared to extract the key and spoof info , then change drive.

This link is to a hitachi for £25, but this guy is who I got my BENQ from. He lists BENQ drives regularly for £39.99 so keep checking. It came the next day too, real efficient shipping!

I was warned not to spoof to a samsung or hitachi drive as this may make it possible for M$ to tell I swapped drives & ban my xbox live. AFAIK The BENQ is basically a different revision of the LITE-ON drive so it should be fine.
Not banned yet! *fingers crossed though*
